Re: Taping a recorder to a microphone
The audio from this method is exceptional. It really is! Sadly though - it's probably not professional looking enough.
I've had a few run-ins with venues who are unhappy with this request.

Re: Nebula 4000 lite
John - thanks for your input. I'm going to fly my Sony a600 on it when it comes rather than my A7S. With weddings I can't be having to mount cameras on/off so the a600 will stay on it permanently....

Re: How I hate DVDs....
Whatever about the superiority of Bluray over DVD. The fact is, sooner than you might like it - nobody will be interested in a disc of any kind which can be lost/burnt/scratched and not easily...

Time and time again with innovative technology, you...

Re: How I hate DVDs....
Seriously? Maybe it's geography. I don't actually know anybody who watches movies on Bluray. They may own Bluray players but if they do it probably was upselling by the electrics store rather than...

Re: How I hate DVDs....
I had my first couple complain about quality. All I could say is 'sorry but thats just DVD'. I don't provide Bluray and the couple didn't have a Bluray player anyways.
Still get clients asking "Is...

Music licensing expense and time
Is anyone else getting fed up with music licensing. I still to this day begrudge forking out. It all adds up over a year of bookings and it's one thing I never factor in to my business outgoings.

Re: Nebula 4000 lite
Ha Paul,
I think we are on a very similar quest as I was also looking at either the Nebula 4000 Lite or the Steadygim15.
I like that the Steadyjim 15 has feet so it can be set down easily but I...

Re: One point of failure vs many?
For ceremony and speeches I have two much cheaper video cameras on light stands rolling continuously on wide angles. This way a B&G can't complain that I never provided their wedding. This is vital...

Re: What size USB do I need?
